Friendship

Friendship is something I cherish. A strong friendship doesn’t need a daily conversation or being together,hence it just needs souls to be close. To me, friendship is not about whom you’ve known the longest, it’s about who walked into your life and proved it, in your good and bad times.
Friendship brings energy to my soul, friendship is where we smile louder, laugh harder, and live a bit better. Friendship is where we share silly jokes and laugh, we be “the real us”, be weird, sarcastic, and  share unforgettable moments.

Shamma Al Assiry – An Artist from the UAE

My parents gave me life, opened my eyes to the world, showed me faith, and fueled my passions. That is where my story starts. The travels, the trips to art museums, the art books, the art classes, the art supplies… To a child curious about art, I was given bliss. And for that I will be forever grateful.

I was fortunate that my challenges never came from my home, and it is from that world that I entered into a bigger world. A world where not just beauty, but both good and evil, lay in the eyes of the beholder. Not unlike Alice going down the rabbit hole, fact turns stranger than fiction, where simple realities translate into complicated truths.
